Yes, I know what you’re thinking, this does seem a little overkill but first of all, you’ll never have to worry about stubbing your toe again and second, it makes walking up and down your stairs so much fun, i found myself going upstairs for no reason just to watch the lights follow me. I mean it […]

You’ve all probably had a chance to do that classic high-school experiment: pop bottle rockets. You’ve probably taped on some fins, a paper nosecone, and presto! You launch a “rocket” that is loads of fun- and watched it fall down from the sky. Why stop there? Here, I’ll show you the basics of building the
Arduino-controlled Water Rockets Continue Reading
In my first Instructable Motion Activated Automatic LED Stair Lights with Arduino I mentioned the use of “Cooperative Multitasking”. So what is it and why is it helpful? This Instructable attempts to answer the “what is it” and “why is it helpful” question with a simple example that step by step builds up into a more complex
Cooperative Multitasking on Arduino – With Pretty Blinky Lights! Continue Reading
This instructable will show you how to make mushrooms that will glow in the dark. You can turn individual mushrooms off and on again by pressing the top. I started this project for a school assignment where we had to create something using the Arduino Uno. I wanted to create something pretty and magical and

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single cat in possession of good fortune must be in want of a laser toy. As with single gentlemen in want of future wives, some precautions must be observed. But is that not true of anything really worth having? If you do have concerns about pets and
This is a radar, designed to detect the distance and direction an object is from the ultrasonic sensor. With the ultrasonic sensor connected to a servo, it has the ability to rotate 180 degress, similar to a radar utilised to detect the position of planes. As the radar wasn’t my original idea, I have also

I made a weather station connected to internet. It measures temperature, humidity, pressure, rainfall, wind speed, UV index and it calculates few more important meteorological values. It then sends this data to weathercloud.net, which has nice graphics and UX. It also has a weather webcamera. It cost me around 140€. I made this station as my

Zener Diode Tester is controlled by Arduino Nano. Tester measure breakdown Zener voltage for diodes from 1.8V to 48V. Dissipation power of measured diodes could be from 250mW to a few Watts. Measuring is simple, just connect diode and press button START. Arduino Nano gradually connect range of voltages from lower to higher, in four

“Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this?” – Ash, Army of Darkness Each time an unsuspecting victim lifts the cover this disgusting book, a bloodcurdling scream pierces the air. This project uses an Arduino Uno, a light sensor and an MP3 player to bring the Necronomicon to life. If you already have an Arduino,
